Ping @zkochan @aduh95, I'm not sure whether we can/should/must upgrade the default pnpm from 6 to 7, what do you think (I'm worried it would make it a breaking change for Node)?
Also cc @mcollina: with your proposal (automatically retrieving the latest versions), in a situation like this one, do you think Corepack should just upgrade from 6 to 7?

I think we should aim for the latest, Corepack is still experimental in Node.js so breaking changes are still expected (and the upside is worth the potential breakage imo).
I think Matteo proposal was we should use a semver-range as the default (so 7.x in this instance), so on a fresh install of Node.js you're less likely to get a version that contains known security issues.

I don't know, whatever the Node.js team thinks is appropriate.
But do update pnpm to v7 in Node.js 18.

It should use ^ by default, meaning that updating a major should be considered a breaking change. Exceptions should also be possible, like for npm 8, where the only breaking change wrt 7 was dropping node 10.

Forgive my drive-by comment here, but I thought npm wasn't supported with corepack?

It has always been supported but not "enabled by default" when you run corepack enable, you can explicitly enable it with corepack enable npm
Ref #24
Note that the npm shims will not be installed unless explicitly requested, as npm is currently distributed with Node.js through other means.
